PokerStars Live League 2026 Returns with Bigger Prizes and Revamped Points
The PokerStars Live League is set to return in 2026 with a revamped points system and bigger rewards. Players will compete across three leaderboards—High, Medium, and Low—for a share of €157,500 in cash prizes and live event credits.
The top 30 finishers in each tier will also secure a spot in a €100,000 freeroll tournament scheduled for 2027. The league awards points based on buy-in amounts, the number of entries, and finishing positions. This year, the system has been adjusted to give more weight to final table finishes and event wins.
Cash prizes for the High Leaderboard are the most lucrative, with €50,000 for first place, €25,000 for second, and €12,500 for third. The Medium Leaderboard offers €25,000 to the winner, €12,500 to the runner-up, and €6,250 for third. In the Low Leaderboard, the top three will take home €15,000, €7,500, and €3,750 respectively.
Beyond cash, the highest finishers in each tier will earn credits for PokerStars live events across Europe. These rewards add extra value for players climbing the rankings throughout the season. The total prize pool for leaderboard winners stands at €157,500. The top 30 players in each category will also gain entry to a €100,000 freeroll in 2027. The updated points structure aims to reward high-stakes performances more generously than before.
